City Police Get Assist on Work through Task Force on Area Man Sentenced 35 Years for Meth Trafficking

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on May 28, 2024

FOR THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
 
Joseph Herbert Hobbs, 42, of Reynoldsville, West Virginia, was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
 
According to court documents and statements in court, an investigation in Harrison County found Hobbs was a major source of methamphetamine in North Central West Virginia. Hobbs worked with a network of distributors to sell methamphetamine.
 
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon S. Flower prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The Greater Harrison Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated. The Bridgeport Police Department has members on the Task Force.
 
Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas S. Kleeh presided.
